For those of you new to my postings, this may come as a surprise, the exsistence of the Dry Paintings from The Lowlands blog. Here I feature older works and artworks not related to the Wet Paintings concept. This little oil was made one fine summers day back in 1988. It is the only remaining work of a series of 16 paintings all made in that time. Thus it is somewhat dear to me, and it won't just easily walk out of my studio! Panarea is one of the hottest tourist spots in the whole of the Mediterranean. I visited this island for the 1st time in 1979. As a result I was lucky to have made a lifelong friendship with the Cincotta Family, owners of the renowned Villagio Turistica Cincotta and Hotel La Piazza. This painting along with 5 more made on this island and the recent 12 paintings made in Sicily last month, will be featured at the Italian Traiteur & Delicatessen, That's Amore, on the Laan van Meerdervoort 188a, The Hague, next week.(Will send an official invitation on next very soon).
